If you’re looking forward to the day of giving thanks and dipping your turkey in cranberry sauce, then you’re probably also eagerly looking forward to using all that turkey energy to grabbing some great Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.

Shopping in the time of a pandemic

Both Black Friday and Cyber Monday mark the first sign of holiday shopping in the United States and other parts of the world. While the shopping scenario might look a little different this year on account of a certain virus that’s touring the world, there’s still a palpable excitement in the air as people are expecting great deals from brands to celebrate this much needed holiday season.

In the past years, we would have witnessed crowded malls, endless queues of people camping outside storefronts, and local stores registering record braking walk-ins after the Thanksgiving weekend. Unfortunately, none of that’s going to happen this year. Much of the shopping spree is about to take place online and more specifically, on social media.

With that said, it’s up to brands now to turn their social feeds into a digital storefront and deliver not just amazing deals but also a wonderful shopping experience for people.

If you’re a brand looking to find some (last-minute) inspiration to create your own Black Friday and Cyber Monday campaign on social, here are some of the best pieces of content that brands have done in the past and this year.
